[Feature Request] React Native New Architecture Update
It would be amazing to have this project fully compliant with the new architecture.
Kinds regards.
@mycloudvip Made it compliant on android only with this fork (RN 0.76.6): https://github.com/praisedavid787/react-native-track-player/tree/feat/turbomodule.
@rdhox I've added iOS support now. Was quite the hack but my project needs the new arch and I just had to go the extra mile.

how to use your package , i am still getting error, i download your update repo and paste into node modules ? is this correct way to do it?
No actually, I’ll send you a setup. Gimme a minute.

I must say, not making the package complaint with the new Architecture, basically sunsets the entire package.
@SaifulAzam @abdulragib sorry this is coming late. The setup is here https://github.com/doublesymmetry/react-native-track-player/issues/2443#issuecomment-2777240477. Feel free to reach out to me via my email if you encounter any issues.
this lib is practically abandoned unless maintenance is actually transferred to someone else with more time.
A couple of people forked. A handful of OSS apps even are released with newarch. the usage is stupidly simple. the sad truth of OSS is they dont make money and people lose interest over time. instead of whining ppl should fork and DIY.
It's still maintained with new arch support planned for later this year according to @jspizziri https://github.com/doublesymmetry/react-native-track-player/issues/2467#issuecomment-2930351080
yeah good luck on that.

Sorry for this stupid question, but I see you doing a lot of stuff in your fork of this lib. Are you interested in publishing and maintaining the fork of this lib or is it something which is too timeconsuming? I Think A LOT of people would love to see a maintained fork of this lib instead of everyone cooking their own soup.
time and money friend, npm download counts wont feed my stomach.
I expressed interest in taking over this lib when facebook suggested deprecating newarch headlessJS support seeing this lib is unmaintained. now its not a concern and i have better things to do than farming internet karma.

A couple https://github.com/lovegaoshi/react-native-track-player of https://github.com/lyswhut/react-native-track-player people https://github.com/weights-ai/react-native-track-player forked. A https://github.com/Jellify-Music/App handful https://github.com/lovegaoshi/azusa-player-mobile of OSS apps even are released with newarch. the usage is stupidly simple https://github.com/lovegaoshi/azusa-player-mobile/blob/89bd84d588caa8f5825738e5ce0c73f825eb3ca4/package.json#L129. the sad truth of OSS is they dont make money and people lose interest over time. instead of whining ppl should fork and DIY.

My employer might be willing to sponsor some of this work if it will help the maintainers.
@subvertallchris we had sponsored DoubleSymmetry for a couple of years, but they've not responded to any of our inquiries about the status of the project for the past year. We are grateful for all of the work that went in to RNTP, but I'd recommend you proceed with caution if considering a sponsorship given the radio silence.
@brianlenz good to know, thank you. The forceful tone of the last comment in #2443 suggested they were eager to move things along so I was optimistic. Hopefully things turn around.
Initial implementation of newArch has been added via https://github.com/doublesymmetry/react-native-track-player/pull/2478/commits/5ce841270943a97b529ac1540c5c028413e0475b on this PR. https://github.com/doublesymmetry/react-native-track-player/pull/2478
The PR itself is quite large and also contains the media3 migration which has been in the works for a while.
My current plan is to release a 5.0.0-alpha.0 so folks can hammer on it and start providing feedback. I'd be interested in feedback on the PR as it exists now however if anyone wants to test.
That's amazing, thank you @jspizziri! We will be testing and integrating as we are able in the coming weeks...
@praisedavid787 just wanted to thank you for your work on newArch, it was definitely a helpful reference for me when implementing it on top of the media3 work. Would love your feeback on the PR referenced here https://github.com/doublesymmetry/react-native-track-player/issues/2425#issuecomment-3004817976
@praisedavid787 kudos to you and the team, I'm also looking forward to test it!
Just tried PR https://github.com/doublesymmetry/react-native-track-player/pull/2478 on new architecture, works like a charm from the first try 😍
Thanks so much @jspizziri and @mycloudvip — really appreciate the kind words! 🙏
Glad the newArch work proved helpful, and I’m excited to see how it integrates with the media3 effort. I’ll take a close look at the PR and drop my thoughts as soon as I can.
Thanks again for pushing this forward — great to see the momentum!
First of all, thank you for your work on creating and maintaining this library — it’s greatly appreciated.
Over the past few weeks, Google Play has been showing a critical warning regarding the requirement to update the minimum target SDK to 35 before August 31st. This update appears to be tied to React Native v0.76.x and the adoption of the new architecture.
I was wondering if there’s any chance the pull request related to the new architecture could be merged or published in the coming weeks. It would be extremely helpful for those of us trying to comply with the new Play Store requirements.
Thanks again, and let me know if there’s anything I can do to help with testing or review.
@ximomompo , you can update to the latest react-native version provided you disable newArch in your project.
@ximomompo to satisfy the policy, you can keep compileSdkVersion < 35 and set targetSdkVersion to 35 as long as you've tested it on a phone/simulator running SDK 35. You can also request an extension until October via a button on the policy alert in the Play Console.
On iOS I'm getting now 'new NativeEventEmitter()' requires a non null argument. I could look into it if needed or this is known issue right now?
